Nonesuch made its first record with John Adams in 1985. He was signed exclusively to the label that year, and since then the company has released forty-two first recordings and thirty-one all-Adams albums, of which six are full-length operas, oratorios, or staged theatrical presentations. Four of Adams’ Nonesuch records have won Grammy Awards, among other honors. The release includes two extensive booklets containing new essays and notes by Timo Andres (which you can read here), Nico Muhly (read here), Jake Wilder-Smith (read here), Julia Bullock, and Robert Hurwitz. The forty-disc John Adams Collected Works, a box set featuring recordings spanning more than four decades of the composer’s career with the label, is out now on Nonesuch Records, available here.
